sienna Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Ok, very quick summary! He talks about his mum, how she went through different 'phases', first she was a hippy, then a massive Rolling Stones fan (she wanted to be the head of the American fan club, that's what me & Robi were referring to). He says he's always been fascinated by 'trends', he has hundreds of books covering various different cultural periods (such as punk, or the freak shows of the 20s). When he writes he forgets everything around him - he even forgets to wash, saying he has more important things to do. He loses contact with friends. He says about when he met Kanye West in LA, and doesn't understand how he can be so creative and so immersed in reality at the same time. He's no longer obsessed with fashion. He talks about how influential Facebook has become. He says that fashion now changes too quickly to be identified with a way of life, unlike back when his mum was a hippy. Not done an Italian-English summary since uni, I'm out of practice Good job anyway! Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laura* Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 But but but....... If we do that he might think he hasn't got any fans left and he might not bother and decide to get a proper job instead It's because he says he forgets to wash himself when he's making music!

Enniey Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Jeepers! I had absolutely forgotten about the column and the fact that it's already time for the newest issue. Good thing I noticed this thread! Ok, very quick summary! He talks about his mum, how she went through different 'phases', first she was a hippy, then a massive Rolling Stones fan (she wanted to be the head of the American fan club, that's what me & Robi were referring to). He says he's always been fascinated by 'trends', he has hundreds of books covering various different cultural periods (such as punk, or the freak shows of the 20s). When he writes he forgets everything around him - he even forgets to wash, saying he has more important things to do. He loses contact with friends. He says about when he met Kanye West in LA, and doesn't understand how he can be so creative and so immersed in reality at the same time. He's no longer obsessed with fashion. He talks about how influential Facebook has become. He says that fashion now changes too quickly to be identified with a way of life, unlike back when his mum was a hippy. Not done an Italian-English summary since uni, I'm out of practice Thank you so much for the summary! :naughty:I guess now we know one more reason why the man and his whole family is so great with his fans with all the m&g's, BGs,LGs and the rest of stuff.
